Apparitions: Architecture That Has Disappeared from Our Cities
Author(s): T. John Hughes
Apparitions is a photography project about buildings that that have vanished from our cities. Ghosted pictures of these structures are combined with current photos of their former locations in single images, with informative text panels to outline the design aesthetics. This unique aesthetic approach provides an engaging way of telling stories of change in our built environments, exploring a wonderful historical narrative that commemorates architecture in space and time, a way to showcase the preservation of memory. National in scope and including a variety of building types, Apparitions comprises photographs from more than sixty cities across the United States. Of interest to photographers and other visual artists, as well as architects, interior designers, planners, preservationists, and all who are directly involved in the built environment.
